It will just be the metal bits in the pack that's just stuck the the friction plates the same way brake pads do to discs The filter would pic anything up but if you're worried then drop the oil and change it

Hi and welcome to the forum I wouldn't worry about it if it was knackered it would be slipping I had a gsxr that did the same and the clutch lasted many years after

It's more than likely coming from the air box The crank case breather goes into the air box then will drain out to that pipe Pretty normal and with higher mileage you will get more pressure in the crank case which will push a bit more oil out Might be worth stripping and cleaning the air box

Teach him the difference between people who are happy for him and people who don't like it Then for that latter teach him how to show them the bird The only thing I will say is lose the harness! If the inevitable does happen then you don't want to be tied together Get a headset so you are in communication

Simply put you need to take it from the battery as any other wiring may not be big enough to take the load and could pop a fuse

I have had LED before just not on this bike They have improved a lot in recent years The issue used to be that the "filament" was in the wrong position on LED's which caused stray lighting but that has now been resolved by positioning it the same as what a Halogen bulb would be so the beam pattern is exactly the same my advice is if you want more light then go for it just do not buy cheap

It's started again - bikes are coming out of garages.

I went out the other day and was overtaken by "the fast boys" It was a dangerous overtake then they continued to overtake approaching bends and with oncoming cars! Few miles down the road in the bendy stuff I caught them up and overtook them! As my mate always says! You can look as though you're fast if you ride dangerously enough! I'm guessing it was their first ride since last year -
Over the weekend I fitted some LED bulbs! Lots of parts to remove to get the headlight off and bloody hard work getting everything inside the headlight! I must say the way the bmw fairing fits is a bloody work of art!

I got a full PPF kit for the RT its not cheap but its very good stuff and extremely tough Its also hard to see when fitted they also sell them in separate parts if needed https://tonyjamesdesigns.com/ Drop them a message and see what they say

Keep it! Noise emissions are only going to be tightened up and you may well need it for MOT time

This is exactly how I do them! it works

Not sure where you got that from It's general chat so talk about what you like in here Do you have to swim to it? Get a lift? or row?

This! I have had a tub for the last 20 years! still half full as you don't need a lot and do my gear 2 or 3 times a year https://www.amazon.co.uk/Renapur-Leather-Balsam -
If you are thinking of replacing it rather than spending £1800 on suspension then you have the answer there! Get some test rides in and that will probably make your mind up

Just got back from a ride which we set off straight after work at 5pm! Lovely to start but temp soon dropped meaning the heated gear was on For some reason I couldn't keep warm! Still a decent 130 mile trip after work across in to Lincolnshire and back

I had a packtalk bold for 5 years then upgraded to the edge In that time I have probably covered in excess of 40k with various other riders and pillions etc Never have any drop outs and no issues with connecting back up unless one of them has been messing around with theirs then I had to add them back to group Suffering tinnitus and a bit of deafness I also got custom earplugs with in built speakers and the sound quality is amazing with the volume at its lowest even at silly speeds Phone call quality is good as is music and sat nav too I still have a set of packtalk bold that I'm will to sell for a good price if you're interested
